Detailed NSW Topographic Mapping | Wee Jasper, Goodradigbee River, Burrinjuck Reservoir & Careys Cave | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Limestone Caves and River Valleys of Wee Jasper

Discover the spectacular limestone landscapes, rugged mountain ranges and secluded river valleys of the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales with the Wee Jasper 8627-4N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Wee Jasper and its surrounding countryside west of Canberra, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, campers, four-wheel-drive enthusiasts, cave enthusiasts, environmental professionals, rural landowners and emergency services.

Nestled among the western foothills of the Brindabella Ranges, Wee Jasper occupies a remarkable landscape where steep forested mountains descend towards fertile river flats, winding waterways and ancient limestone formations.

The district is renowned for its magnificent caves, picturesque camping reserves and the clear waters of the Goodradigbee River, which winds through the valley before joining the Murrumbidgee River system near Burrinjuck Reservoir.

The mapped area includes Wee Jasper, Goodradigbee, West Goodradigbee, Cowrajago, Narrangullen, Julons and the surrounding mountain countryside.

Among its most distinctive geographical features are Careys Cave, Wee Jasper Nature Reserve, Goodradigbee Hill, Cowrajago Hill, Gunners Gorge, Jeremiah Creek and the southern reaches of Burrinjuck Reservoir.

The limestone country around Wee Jasper is particularly fascinating. Over millions of years, underground water has dissolved limestone to create an intricate system of caves and passages. Careys Cave is one of the district's best-known attractions, celebrated for its spectacular formations and geological significance.

Above ground, the landscape is equally impressive. The Goodradigbee River flows through a succession of forested valleys and rural clearings, while the surrounding ranges are dissected by numerous creeks, gullies and rocky ridgelines.

The district's distinctive combination of limestone geology, rugged terrain, river catchments and historic pastoral settlement makes detailed topographic mapping particularly valuable.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the Wee Jasper map provides the detail needed to interpret contours, identify waterways, understand ridgelines and plan journeys through this beautiful but sometimes challenging countryside.

Whether you're exploring the Wee Jasper Valley, planning a camping trip, researching limestone geology, investigating rural property or undertaking professional fieldwork, this topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.
